Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Ok, that confirms that you don't have the cairo or pango ports installed.
 (They're required by libglade2.) Yet for some reason some versions of the
 files the cairo and pango ports would install are present on your system,
 which fooled MacPorts into believing the ports were already installed. But
 those files appear to be at least 11 months old and to predate the fix for
 the problem you're seeing.

 The solution is to install the cairo and pango ports. Because the files
 those ports would install are already on your system for some reason,
 you'll need to force the installation:

 {{{
 sudo port -f install cairo pango
 }}}

 But I am a little worried, because this problem should never have happened
 in the first place. And if you had rogue copies of the cairo and pango
 files on your system, I am concerned that you might have other rogue files
 from other ports that will cause you problems in the future.

 Since you said you just installed MacPorts, perhaps the best solution
 would be to follow the
 [http://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.uninstalling MacPorts
 uninstallation instructions], including the `sudo rm -rf` command, to
 ensure that all traces of MacPorts, including files that should not be
 there, are removed. Then you could reinstall MacPorts, and the ports you
 want, knowing that you won't have any files that shouldn't be there. It
 would probably be less inconvenient to do this now rather than wait until
 later when you have more ports installed.
